Two small organs about the size of a fist are the kidneys. They are located behind the abdomen on the opposite side of the spine cord. They are responsible for flushing out toxins in the blood through urine. Since prehistoric times, kidney stones have been mentioned as a medical condition.

This extremely painful condition is more common in men than in women. It is most common in those who live in developed countries.

 

When urine becomes too concentrated, it can lead to kidney stones and calculi. They can form anywhere in the urinary tract, causing pain, obstruction or secondary infection. Experts believe that kidney stones have been more common in recent years due to changes in lifestyles and diets.

 

What causes kidney stones?

 

When urine becomes too concentrated, kidney stones can form. Some substances, such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid, can leave small crystals or residues in the kidneys' inner surfaces. Many people have chemicals in their urine that act as inhibitors to prevent the formation of kidney stones. These inhibitors don't work in all people, and can lead to the formation of stone in their bodies.

 

The formation of kidney stones can be caused by many factors. Our daily diet contains the chemicals that cause kidney stones like calcium. Many researchers believe diet can only influence someone who is already susceptible to the condition. Other common causes of kidney stone are infection and obstructions of your urinary tract. Below are some of the most common causes.

People from different parts of the globe may see the same type of stones due to their diets.

Excessive sweating and hot climates can lead to depletion in body fluids. This can lead to high levels of urine, precipitation, and stone formation.

Some pathological conditions can also be associated with the formation of urinary and renal stones. Phosphate stones can be formed if the urinary tract is obstructed or infected.

Persons with kidney stones in their family are more likely to get the condition.

Some kidney disorders, such as polycystic kidneys increase the likelihood of developing kidney stones.

 The risk of developing stones increases with hyperparathyroidism or certain metabolic disorders.

The pH of the urine can also influence the formation of stones in your urinary tract. Calcium phosphate stones can form if the urine pH is too acidic.

Here are some signs and symptoms of kidney stone.

Fluctuating pain is the most common symptom. This can be very painful. Asymptomatic renal stones, especially phosphate stones are often'silent' unless there is an infection or obstruction. Most cases of blocked urine flow are accompanied by back pain, or pain along the sides just below the ribs.

Patients complain of dull, constant, and persistent pain in their loins or around the kidneys. This is often exacerbated by movement, but gets better when they rest. If the stone is lodged in the bladder, severe pain can occur. The pain may radiate to the labium, testis, flanks or testis and can become more severe over time.

These are other symptoms:

 

Sometimes, pain can be felt in the form of profuse sweating or pallor.

Nausea and vomiting

Fevers and chills

Ureter with blood tinged or cloudy color

Foul-smelling urine

Urinary urges are constant

Recurrent urinary infections.
